As it happened, Imd gone down to liurliugham with Felix, and she remained at home on the plea of a headache. down a message to the effect that she was unwell, and asked me to ex' cuse her, but I scribbled a lew lines on my tara asking particularly to see her. This time the servant returned with the information tba Miss Beilin would see me for a few minutes, and I was shown into the drawing room. I felt nervous, but do tennined to go through with the matter, managed to screw up my courage most unpleasant task, but very necessary if I wanted to attain my object. when Miss Beilin entered I could not suppress a start, so changed was she in ont-ward appearance.

As I said before, she was a tall, well developed and very beautiful woman, but now sue had grown thin, and her face wore an anxious expression. I could not help thinking that she knew something about the tragedy at the lone inn, as I could conjecture no other reason for her ill health and manifest discomposure. She came forward with a nervous smile and greeted me in a low voice. My mother and Mr Briartield have gone to Huriingham, she said, sitting down on a lounge near which my chair was placed. 'I am not sorry for that, I answered gravely, "as I wish to see you alone.

"What is the matter, Mr Denham? Have you anything very terrible to tell me? "I think it is terrible. "About Francis? she demanded anx ion sly. Yes! About Francis! "Surely you are not going to begin again about that foolish matter you spoke of at Marshminster." "No it is not about that. Olivia passed her handkerchief across her lips and gave a sigh of relief. The expression of her face was so strange that I was more than ever convinced she suspected the truth.

I am glad you have given over that mad idea about Francis being Felix, she said at length. I cannot conceive what made you take up so strange a belief. Felix is in Pans. "I know that. Miss Beilin.

I saw him there. This I said in the hope of startling her, hut she did not move a muscle of her face. Either she was keeping herself well in hand.orwas cognizant of the fact that Felix had gone to Paris for the purpose of deceiving me. If so. she must have known he was not Francis, and also that my storv of the lone inn tragedy was true.

It was on my tomrue to ask her if she was aware of the terrible truth, but on reflection I judged it best to let events evolve themselves. Fate could manage these things better than a mere mortal. I knew you would see him there, she said coldly, but I cannot conceive why you should desire to convince yourself that 1 spoke tnlly. Because. Miss Beilin.

I believe that the man who calls himself Francis is really Felix." "The same old story, she said impatiently. "You are mad. If you saw Felix in Paris you must be convinced that you are making a mistake. "Well. Miss Bsllin, we will waive that point for the present.

I will call the man to whom you are engaged Francis. As he is, she interpolated, imperiously. I let the remark pass, and went on with my speech. You will no doubt think me highly impertinent, buM wish to warn you against the so-called Francis Briartield. "What do you mean, sir? Simply this.

While at the Fen inn I was waited on by a woman who called herself Rose Strent. The woman is now town acting at the Frivolity theater under the name of Rose Gernon." And what have I to do with such a creature? she asked, in a trembling voice. "Nothing, but your lover has everything to do with her. "Mr Denham! We were both on our feet bv this time, and she was looking at me with wraihful eyes. The crisis I so dreaded had come, but it was now too late to retreat, and there was no help tor it but to go on.

Be angry with me if you like. Miss Beilin. I said, as soon as I was able, but it is in your own interest I speak." My own interest! Y'es! This woman Rose Gernon Is in love with Francis Xo. no! she murmured, her face growing white, "you are making a mistake. "It is true.

I said, doggedly, "she was with him at his chambers yesterday evening at 8 oclock. She will be there tomorrow evening at the same time. 1 learned that fact todav. "Did you come here to insult me. sir.

asked Olivia, in a voice tremulous with laieime'here to do you a service, but if vou look upon it in the light of an insult I inav as well take my leave.

The audience present last evening, the beginning of the second week of her engagement here, was not quite so large as the gathering which gave her enthusiastic welcoming a week ago. yet it was a large assemblage.

and of a character complimentary to the artist. Julia certainly cannot be ranked among the most successful of Miss Marlowes characterizations, yet it is a thoroughly pleasing impersonation. There are tew roles which could make so evident both the merits and the faults of this actress' work. Mie is never more rlmrining than in the opening scenes of this plav where Julia isa gay. free hearted, ingenuous country maiden.

Here she realizes ones fondest ideal of the character. When Julia becomes a high-spirited and all-conquering city lady, thoughtless and coquettish. Miss Mariowe is not so satisfactory. hhe does not make you feel that Julia is anv less an ingenuous, true-hearted girl than she was before leaving her country home. You cannot believe that she could do what the text declares she has done and is doing.

In the succeeding scenes she lacks the emotional power necessary to au impressive delineation of the character. In short, wherevet great dramatic force is necessary Miss Marlowe fails to meet requirements. Wherever the expression of sweet, lovable, ingenuous womanhood is required site excels requirements. ery good support was given by most of the members of her company. Mr Jewetts Clifford was in many respects an admirable characterization.

It was intelligent and well sustained. Mr Weavers Master Walter could scarcely be unproved upon. It is one of the best impersonations by this thoroughly capable actor. Miss Eugenia Woodward deserved cordial commendation for her work as Helen. "The Hunchback" will be presented again this evening.

Numerous revisions and improvements in the dialogue give the comedy a newness in outline without changing its essential characteristics or detract ingst all from the fun it creates. The same broad vein of farcical humor runs through the play, and the alterations are all agreeable ones. he onlv claim made for the pieoe, of course, is that it produces laughter, and iu this respect it certainly is a great success.

To Mr Thatcher himself, the old-time minstrel favorite, falls a large share of the merry-making, and he provokes a very heawy succession of laughs from the moment that he makes his appearance as Dr Medlcus. the vender of hair restoratives, who is mistaken forau expert on insanity and consulted in the case of the sou or his father, who is bent on discovering Tippoo Tip. Incidentally there are some pleasing specialty numbers, the company including such prime favorites as R. J. Jose, II.

You have found Rose SYei She is a burlesque actress, and alivs at the Frivolity theater. Her name in the program is set down as Rose Gernon. bat this is doubtless her stage name.

Rose Strent is her real one. Im not so sure of that. said Merrick, shandy. If she went into that Fen inn business with her eyes open, she doubtless took a false name, so as to baffle inquiry. Then what about the landlord, who called himself Edward Strent?" 0 we must find out all about bim.

No doubt his name is false also. Did he" 1 ook like her father? "Well. I cant 6av that there was much likeness between them. He looked to me valet6 muttered Merrick, reflectively. Queer 1 I wonder if he really was a valet valet to Felix.

"I think Bose Gemon is blackmailing Felix also." Quite sou What else can he expect? Or ele, added Merrick, looking straight at me. its a case ot love and marriage. What! Do you think Felix promised to marry Rose if she helped him to get rid ot his brother? "I think he might lead her to believe he would do so. This is absurd, Mernck, said sharply. Felix is in love with Olivia.

The motive of the crime was to gain possession of Olivia's hand. Ro66 would not help Felix if she knew that. Precisely! If she knew it. But its my opinion that she does not know it. I believe Felix gulled her into belief that he would marrv her if Bbe gave her assistance, but he has not the slightest intention of keep ing his promise." And what excuse could he make for wishing to murder his brother? Ah.

there you have me! I don't know that Of course, you and I are aware of tba real motive of the crime, but Rose is ignorant of it. She thinks she knows, no doubt, but Im certain she has been put off with a lie. But he cant keep the information from her forever. Even if he keeps quiet, some one is bound to tell her that Felix is engaged to Miss Beilin. There you are wrong, said Merrick, with grim jocularity.

"Everyone thinksFrancia is engaged to Miss Beilin." l'es; but Rose Gemon knows well enough that Francis is dead, and that the engaged man must be Felix posing as Francis. 'Theres some truth in that, admitted the doctor.looking puzzled. I suppose he must have kept that fact from her so far, as I dont see what possible explanation he could give her. "Always assuming she is in love with him, said I. musingly.

O. as to that. 1 am certain it is so. A woman like Rose Gemon. drawing a good salary, would not mix herself np in such a dangerous business merely for monev.

There is a stronger motiye, and tharjs jJTr- Well, and Olivia, thinking Felix is Francis, loves him madly also. If these two women come together there will be trouble for Felix.

an engineer on the Jersey Central railroad, to a writer for the Washington Star. If such a thing could happen these locks of mine would not be as black as you see them now, for I will venture to say that no man ever went through a more fear-inspiring experience than I did once. It happened this way. The weather had been pretty hot and it was just the sort of a day for breeding a tornado. was working on a one horse railroad in southern Kansas.

The superintendent wired me to fetch my engine a distance of about 70 miles to a place called Peters-tewn. It was wanted to haul a lot of perishable freight, mostly market produce, which had got shunted off by some accident to a side track and was in danger of spoiling. The day was extremely sultry, and there was a curious sort of a glare over the landscape, which made it look sort of feverish. I cant think of a better word for describing it. My fireman was a boy who was brought up in that region, and be said that it looked like a tornado coming.

"He ought to have been a good judge of the svmptoms, because the whole of his family, together with all their property and live stock, had been wined out by such a twister, as they railed em. when be was hardly old enough to toddle. "By the time we had gone maybe eight or nine miles further a dense bank of clouds had bpread around toward the southwest. It was black as ink. but beneath it was a blank streak of white.

I had never seen anything that looked quite like it before. As I looked at it the hank rose higher, and presently I saw something like a sharo oint of cloud project itself downward rom the black mass. All this time there was no thunder nor lightning, but only a look about the sky that was dreadful to see, because it was so unnatural like. It seemed as if something awful was goiug to happen. "It was the hoy who called my attention to the noiuted cloud, and he saul it was a tornado beginning.

Then well run away from it. I guess, said I. pulling the throttle wide opeu. Bnt the boy, he said nothing only watched the clouds in the distance. 'By this time the pointed cloud had got very much bigger, tho lower end of it nearly touching theground.

It grew rapidly larger and larger and seemed to no approaching at a great rate of speed, while the rest of the view toward the west and sonthwost became blurred to the eve, so that nothing could be made out clearly. "1 looked at the bov, but he only sat silent iu the cab, staring at the great peg tup with starting eyeballs and white lips. Finally I said: Do you thiuk we are going to escape it? We are right its track, he said, without looking at me. "You see, we were running in an air line over the prairie, directly northeast, and pursuing the very path in which the tor-naao was coining. Anv other course with tbesteam I had ou would have carried us out of the way.

The boy shoveled more coal on. He had already done sc three or four times since the strange cloud was sighted. But it was no use; the engine was doing its best, and she wasn't capable of more than about 38 miles au hour. Its gaining ou ns. I said.

IIow fast does such a thing as that travel? About loo miles au hour, replied the boy. white as a sheet. "If that had been true I would not be here to tel! the story. I have since learned that 80 miles an hour is supposed to be the best a tornado can do. My belief is that this one was going at about Go miles.

"Anyway, it wasnt more than six or seven miles distant by this tune and gaining on us rapidly. If my reckoning was correct it would cutcii us in a little more than 20 minutes. It was the most frightful spectacle to look at that can possibly be imagined. To me it seemed to be a monstrous giant, pur. suing us with an evil intention to destroy.

It appeared to whirl round with inconceivable rapidity, and from it came a sound across the prairie as of bellowing, with a voice so awful that the rumbling of the locomotive was lost in it. Of the destruction it was accomplishing could get no notion from my point of view. Fortunately, there were lew settlements in that part of the country, but as we passed two or three small hamlets at full speed I could see the people naming about trying to find some place of safety.

'Make the bend I knew what he meant on the instant. Less than 10 miles ahead of us was a bridge over a river, after crossing which the road turned ahmoll southward. It was a freak railway, anyhow, and its zigzags were intended to pass through as many supposed centers of future population as possible, i he only long stretch of it in a straight line was ju-t where we got caught by the tornado. If we could get to the bend ahead of the monster we might run out of its track. -As you may well imagine I had no opportunity to consider the plan calmly and in detail, but it struck me like a (lash.

It was a race for life, sure enough. If that engine never did her 40 miles au hour before i think slio must have done that and more. too. then. Six miles passed, as well as I could estimate.

We could not make nut anything very distinctly, the sky being darkened and the air filled with dust, but we knew that we were safe. A few minutes later the clouds rolled awav and everything was as quiet and peaceful as before the storm. ran hack to the bridge, but it wasn there.

It was clean gone. 'I he road was adlv torn up. the track for considerable istances being twisted and broken to pieces, that the expense of repairing it nearly bankrupted the company. "Eleven people lost their lives by the tornado. which afforded me an experience which 1 would not repeat for all the money in the world.
